Minimum flow
If the pump starts with the valve closed, the energy that
pump delivered to the liquid is transferred in the form
of heat, which may result in rapid temperature increase
of liquid in a short time, cause damage to the parts
and components inside the pump. Therefore, quickly
open the water discharge valve when the pump reaches
operating speed. In case the operating conditions of
pump inevitably reaches zero flow or the hot water is
in circulation, related overflow valve must be provided
or a bypass line should be provided for smaller system.
It is recommended to determine a min. flow or design
an auxiliary line
Zero load protection
In no case the pump is allowed to run with zero load
as such operation will result in extra high pump
temperature and damage the parts and components of
pump (e.g. mechanical seal).
Backflow
When the system runs under pressure in a closed status,
the pressure cannot be reduced via pump, as it may
cause a backflow speed far above the pump speed and
thus damage the system
When using, the user should consider the effect of
various factors on the use, and its maximum suction
height H should be lower than the calculated value
below (negative value should be inverted). Otherwise,
the pump will not work properly.
Pb: local atmospheric pressure unit bar(sea level is
1bar)
NPSHr: water pump must be cavitation margin, unit m
Hf: loss of inlet pipe in m
Hv: liquid saturated vapor pressure unit is m (converted
to water column height)
Hs: safety margin in m (usually 0.5m)
Such as:
Pb=1bar, pump cavitation margin NPSHr=2m,
Pipe loss Hf=2m, safety margin Hs=0.5m
When liquid temperature 40 ℃ saturated vapor
pressure
Hv=Pv/ min, g=0.7m (converted to height of water
column)
H = 1 x 10.2-2-2-0.7-0.5 = 5 m

shipping and receiving process of pump. The pump
must be shipped by professional personnel in order to
prevent collision. When delivered from the factory,
avoid changing the orientation of the pump and pay
attention to the instructions on the packing.
Seal the suction/discharge of the pump during shipping
and storage.
Note! All packing material should be disposed of
according to local laws and regulations
The lifting devices (such as fork lift, crane, pulley, rope
and etc. ) must be adequately safe. The weight of pump
or electric motor can be found on the nameplate.
The pump set should be lifted as shown in Fig. 2.
When the electric motor has no lift lug，it should be
bound and located with nylon tapes
It is prohibited to stand below lifted load. Please obey
the regulations to prevent accident. The pump or pump
set cannot tip or fall before it is finally located.

3.2 Storage
In case of long period storage, make sure that the pump
or pump set is protected from humidity, vibration and
filth (it may be wrapped with waterproof oil paper or
plastics). Basically the pump cannot be stored in nude
and should be covered. During the storage period, all
suctions/discharges must be sealed with flange cover
plug.

4 Installation
4.1 Pump installation
The installation of pump should reserve sufficient
space for the maintenance and service activities,
especially for replacement of the driving motor or the
entire pump set, as shown in Fig.3.
The concrete base must be able to absorb vibration
effectively; The base shall provide a permanent
and solid foundation for the pump unit and shall be
constructed in accordance with local conditions. When
installed without vibration isolation, the base platform
of the pump should be 100~150mm wider than the
width around the base of the pump set. When installed
with vibration isolation, the vibration damping
platform should be 150mm wider than the water pump
vibration isolation base. Elevation on top of foundation
shall be higher than 100mm above pump room
ground without vibration isolation installation, and
above 50mm above pump room ground completion
surface with vibration isolation installation, and water
accumulation shall not be formed as shown in figure
7. The peripheral area of the foundation is provided
with drainage facilities to facilitate the drainage or the
elimination of leakage during maintenance. The oil,
gravel, soil and water should be clear and clean in the
hole reserved by the water pump foundation surface
and anchor bolts. The thread and nut of the embedded
anchor bolts shall be well protected. The surface of the
placer should be chiselled. Before the installation of
the equipment, the surface of the foundation secondary
grouting layer shall be scooped into a hemp surface
with a depth of no less than 10mm and no less than 3
points per square metre.

Installation steps:
1. Check the water pump and motor shaft to remove all
burrs, rust, etc.
2. Install the positioning ring 2 and screw 4 onto the
motor shaft, and locate the ring end face level with the
motor shaft end face, then use the electric drill to spot-
face the motor shaft, and the position corresponds to
that of screw 4.
3. Install the positioning plate 3 and lifting bolt 8 onto
the pump shaft without tightening. The positioning
plate can be moved up and down.
4. Align the groove of the coupling with locating ring
2 before adjusting locating plate 3, so that the coupling
can be installed smoothly on locating ring 2 and
locating plate 3.
5. Tighten the lifting bolt 8 on the pump shaft end until
it is in place to lift the rotor assembly.
6. Then install the other half coupling on the locating

6 Service
The service work should be performed only when the pump and pump set stops operation and strictly
following to 1.4 "Safety instructions".
Note! The service and maintenance work must be carried out by skilled personnel received related training and
familiar with this operation manual or by professional service personnel from manufacturer. All service and
maintenance work must be recorded at"13 Log book" and signed for verification.
Packing seal:
Packing seals require frequent maintenance. If leakage is not properly set and the packing seal is severely worn, it
must be replaced (otherwise the shaft sleeve or shaft will be worn).
Mechanical seal
If there is leakage at the mechanical seal, it represents that the mechanical seal is damaged and needs to bel replaced
immediately.
After each removal of the seal, the auxiliary seal and static and static ring of the machine seal must be replaced.
In order to prevent accidents, it is strictly prohibited to fill during pump operation or when the pump is under
operating pressure or operating temperature.
Pay attention to the noise during normal operation. If there is vibration, abnormal noise, abnormal temperature rise
of motor, or other fault phenomena are observed, stop immediately to find out and eliminate the fault cause.
If the pump performance is not reduced due to changes in the pipe system or the scale in the pipe, it may be caused
by the wear of parts in the pump, which must be stopped and repaired.
